TREATMENT FOR BETTER FLUIDITY
This rope features a plasma treatment which helps to improve the rope's smoothness when feeding it through karabiners and belay devices.
MIDDLE MARKING
To improve your safety, this rope features a black mark which indicates the middle of the rope.
Total weight
66 g/m
PLEASE NOTE: Weight measurements made according to the EN 892 standard.
For example, for a single rope, the rope must be exposed to 10 kg of tension for 1 minute in very precise temperature and moisture conditions.
This gives you the real weight of the rope, which is often superior to the weight given by the standard.
The weight measurement according to the standard is used to compare two ropes to each other.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ROPE LENGTH
Note that the length of rope needed depends on the terrain as well as the height.
Be sure to check with the wall operator before climbing.
Additionally, as a rope ages—no matter the brand—it tends to expand and shrink. We recommend you re-measure regularly.
WASHING YOUR ROPE
To extend the lifespan of your rope, protect it from dirt. We recommend the following
1- use a rope tarp when it is on the ground
2- if it is dirty, wash it in clean, lukewarm water
Should stains persist, use a pH-neutral soap (such as Marseille/household soap) and rinse thoroughly with clean water
3- air dry it in the shade and away from all sources of heat.
STORING YOUR ROPE
Ropes should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from light, humidity, and corrosive agents. Never leave ropes inside a car during summer, for example.
CHECKING YOUR ROPE
It is important to check your rope regularly. To do so, run the rope through your hands and inspect it metre by metre along its entire length. This will allow you to spot any nicks, cuts, or weak spots. If you notice any anomalies or irregularities, if the core is visible in certain places, if the rope is deformed or has exceeded its fall rating, it must be changed. Take safety seriously!
